xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DisplayCAL.app

3.9.13

Release Notes

This release introduces lots of fixes, especially for Windows. The big items are:

• We now have a Windows Installer. It might not fully work out of the box as we had very limited testing with both the installer and the frozen executables.
• Updated installation instructions with a cleaner and more understandable format for all OSes.
• Python 3.12 should now work fine under Linux and MacOS with wxPython 4.2.2. But, Windows is still problematic.
• Updated default config so that the default profile name doesn't contain any empty spaces.
• Updated Argyll CMS from V3.1.0 to V3.2.0 (v3.3.0 is already released, so it is left to the users to download).
• And lots of fixes here and there, check the full changelog for details.
